The fire on the city wall was burning fiercely.
The siege vehicles of the Western Qin Army under the city wall were working hard to drill into the roots of the city wall.
Piles of dirt were dug out, and holes were drilled out of the roots of the city wall.
These holes were drilled by the siege vehicles.
Drilling down is getting bigger and bigger.
After receiving the order, the generals of the servant army, Wahid and Schneider, led their own men and horses, carrying weapons and roaring towards the city wall.
For a time, countless servant troops were densely packed like ants and locusts in the open space outside the city wall.
Some soldiers of the Food Army who heard the loud roar outside the city risked being burned to death and returned to the city wall to observe.
They found that the Western Qin servant army had begun a full-scale attack on the city, and those huge monsters under the city wall were attacking.
Continuously destroying the walls of the city wall, people immediately ran down the city wall Report to Childs: "General, something bad is going on.
The Western Qin Army has used many huge siege vehicles that are constantly destroying the base of the city wall.
They use sharp drills to hit the corners and dig out the base of the city wall.
The base of the wall will soon be destroyed.
Drill through.
Once the wall is drilled through, the surrender troops from outside will rush in."
The generals of the Dashi Army who heard the report all around changed their expressions.
One general asked Childs anxiously: "General, there are fires all over the city wall now.
We can't get up.
And the Western Qin people are digging the base of the city wall outside.
They will come in soon.
Should we consider a retreat?
Once the Western Qin army enters the city, it will be difficult for us to resist it."
Childs did not expect that the tall and thick city wall he planned to use to resist the Western Qin Army's attack would be so vulnerable to the Western Qin Army's siege equipment.
If he broke out now, he would be too unwilling to do so.
This battle would still be difficult.
There will be no misfortune before the fight begins.
Childs gritted his teeth and had a cold face.
He forced himself to calm down and said to the surrounding generals: "Everyone, we still have 30,000 troops.
Even if the Western Qin army breaks through the city wall and comes in, will we fight?
Forget about escaping without fighting.
Now the West Qin army is besieging the city.
We want to break out.
Even if we succeed, we will suffer heavy losses.
As long as we can stabilize the morale of the army, even if the West Qin army enters the city, we will still So we can fight them to the end.
We will resist for a while.
If we can't stop them anymore, we will find a way to break out.
Now I must do my best to prevent them from attacking the city.
Lieutenant General, you immediately send someone to the wall to observe the Western Qin army.
Where the siege engines are located, we immediately deploy defenses under the city wall.
Once they break through the city wall, we immediately pounce on them and kill them back, and then find stones to block the entrance."
The generals didn't have much confidence at first, but Childs had already said that no matter how scared he was, he had to bite the bullet for a while, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the caliphate in the future, so the deputy general immediately sent someone wearing a wet cloak to climb up the city wall and risk it.
Observe the position of the Western Qin army's siege vehicles at the risk of being engulfed in fire.
The big cannibal is still very ruthless.
Many people he sent to the city wall were unfortunately burned to death one after another.
The deputy general had to send several waves of soldiers up in succession.

Finally, someone found a few safe positions on the city wall.
Through observation After that, he quickly reported the locations of all the Western Qin army's siege vehicles to the generals in the city.
Childs immediately ordered his generals to take some soldiers to prepare for defense under the wall opposite the hole drilled by the siege vehicle.
Some soldiers went to find stones, and some soldiers prepared defensive tools such as table door panels and horses.
Under the organization and command of various generals, the Dashi soldiers were deployed in a square formation at the foot of the city wall.
As long as the root of the wall was penetrated and the Western Qin army rushed out of the hole in the wall, these Dashi army formations would immediately press up.
Drive out the Western Qin army.
As the square array was arranged, the Dashi army soldiers at the foot of the inner wall gradually became quiet, and the shouts of killing from the Western Qin servants outside the city wall gradually disappeared.
It was extremely rare and extremely quiet inside and outside the city wall.
The soldiers even They could hear each other breathing.
I don’t know when it started, but the soldiers of the Food Army at the foot of the inner wall heard a faint creaking sound.
Gradually, the creaking sounds became louder and more numerous.
"What's the sound?"
asked an ordinary soldier in the formation of a large food army.
A soldier next to him stammered: "It seems like the sound of digging into the wall."
As soon as these words were said, the surrounding Dashi soldiers suddenly became nervous, and the hands holding their weapons began to sweat.
Suddenly, the wall on the left side near the city gate was suddenly broken open, and a shining metal tip appeared.
The metal tip kept rotating rapidly, and the surrounding soil debris fell one after another.
As the metal tip drilled out of the wall, it penetrated more and more.
There are more and more, and they are getting bigger and bigger.
The holes in the city wall are getting bigger and bigger.
The soldiers of the Food Army are looking forward to seeing this metal tip drilling out.
They are frightened and at the same time full of confusion.
What on earth could drill holes in city walls so quickly?
The internal structure and components of the siege vehicle built by the craftsmen of the Western Qin Army are extremely sophisticated.
It has a large number of gears, belts and chains, as well as pedals and cranks used for power, which can both move the siege vehicle forward and retreat. , the soldiers inside can not only sit on the seats and step on the pedals and shake the handles to move forward, but also get off the car and push them around.
They can also make the drill head rotate at an extremely fast speed to drill into the city wall.
The function of the hole.
There is a huge drill horn on the front end of the siege vehicle, and there are many sharp steel spikes of different lengths around it.
These sharp spikes also have gears connected to the rotating rod.
They will rotate quickly like the drill horn.
Once Launching a charge, these siege engines can rampage across the battlefield on flat ground.
Therefore, this thing is not only a sharp siege weapon, but also a powerful battlefield killer.
As long as the ground is not too bumpy or too rough, its collision force and killing effect on the battlefield will be Make the enemy fearful.
As the maximum impact angle of the drill bit completely drilled out of the wall, a hole as wide as a bowl appeared, and then many small drill bits were drilled out of the surrounding walls.
These metal drill bits were also rotating and extremely sharp.
Wait for more Large and small diamonds After the spikes on their heads drilled out of the wall, they gradually retracted, leaving dozens of holes of different sizes on the wall.
From these holes came shouts: "One, two, three, hey Yo; one, two, three, hey yo" Immediately afterwards, drill bits appeared again on the city wall.
These drill bits drilled out of the intact wall, and a large amount of soil fell down.
After drilling several times on the originally intact wall, dense holes and holes appeared on the wall. .
After five passes, the wall was already covered with holes like a sieve, and the drill bit was retracted again.
Just when the nearby soldiers of the Food Army were worried, the wall that was already covered with a large number of holes suddenly collapsed, and a head was covered with holes.
A steel monster armed with a large number of spiked drill bits rushed out of the huge hole.
"Ah!"
The soldiers in the Great Eclipse Army's formation below the wall collectively exclaimed.

Before the soldiers of the Food Army could react, a steel monster with a head full of spikes rushed over.
The spears and spears poked at it and made a clanking sound.
The monster did not suffer any damage.
Instead, it was stabbed with spears.
The soldiers of the Great Food Army who stabbed it with spears were stabbed to death and wounded by the spikes on its body.
The siege vehicle rushed into the Great Eclipse Army's formation, and anyone who stood in the way would either be jumped up by the spikes on its head, or be knocked down and crushed to death by it.
"Monster, monster, run, run."
When the soldiers of the Great Food Army saw that it was not afraid of the harm of swords and guns, but instead rampaged and killed many of their own people, they immediately screamed in horror and dropped their weapons and ran away.
The generals of the Great Food Army Although he tried his best to restrain his subordinate soldiers and killed many people in succession, he could not stop these people's desperate retreat.
One after another, siege vehicles rushed out of the holes in the city wall and quickly broke up the large army formation blocking the front.
Faced with such a powerful weapon, even Qi, who was the commander of the army, Erzi was also frightened.
He was hit by a siege truck and kept retreating.
If he hadn't used the spear of a soldier next to him to hold the siege truck's head, he would have also been hit by the siege truck's head. were stabbed to death by their spikes or knocked down and crushed to death.
The soldiers of the Great Food Army who were escaping looked back and found that these steel monsters could turn left and right and retreat at will.
They were even more frightened and did not dare to look back again.
They fled towards the west of the city with all their lives.
Childs, who had a lucky escape, escaped from the Western Qin army's siege under the protection of his guards.
Now he could no longer control the fleeing army, so he could only take his guards and ride a horse to escape to the West City Gate.
At this time, the West City A large number of fleeing soldiers had gathered near the door.
Childs immediately said loudly: "Everyone listen to me, the Western Qin Army has entered the city.
With our current morale and strength, we can no longer stop them.
The only chance to survive now is to break out of the encirclement and open the city later."
Door, all of you rush out with us.
No matter what is in front of you, you must rush forward desperately, but don’t be crowded when you leave the city.
Generals, take care of your own troops.
Don’t be chaotic.
Leave the city in an orderly manner. , open the city gate" As the city gate opened, Childs was the first to rush out with his guards.
The Western Qin army had been besieging the city for many days.
Although the main attack was on the south gate, other gates were also surrounded by troops.
As the West City Gate was opened, the West Qin Army outside immediately reacted.
The soldiers in the Infantry Square of the West Qin Army who had been blocking the city gate were immediately shocked.
The commander of the army immediately shouted: "Everyone, pay attention.
The infantry held up shields and swords and lined up in front to block, while the cavalry reared up to shoot on horseback."
"Roar!"
All the soldiers of the Western Qin Army roared immediately.
The infantry placed their shields heavily on the ground, and the cavalry all took out their bows and arrows and pointed them at the charging Dashi Army.
The commander in chief drew out his command sword and pointed forward: "Cavalry fire arrows, infantry hold still":
